About

GUI and its Functionalities are:

  • We can upload a CT Scan Image, and our model Covify will predict whether the image uploaded is of a Covid Infected person or not.
  • When we click the Classify button, the model gives a softmax probability of the decision is made and how strongly it tries to put forward its integrity.
  • When we click on the Magic Button, it shows a heat map of all the activations in the image that influenced the model to make certain decisions.

Covid Prediction on CT Scan Images

Non-Covid Prediction on CT Scan Images

ncovid

When we click on CT Scan images, Our Model predicts whether it is covid or not and shows a heat map demonstrating the basis of the model's predictions

Heatmaps

heatmap

This is a heat map for the image showcasing which activations or parts of the image led the model to predict certain decisions on whether the person is covid or not.

Applications

  • Deep learning, a popular research area of artificial intelligence (AI), enables the creation of end-to-end models to achieve promised results using input data without the need for manual feature extraction.

  • We have used CT scan images to not sacrifice the quality of diagnosis and improve the speed of data diagnosis.

  • To combat COVID, the Current need of the hour is building Medical Diagnosis Support Systems that are Fast, Reliable, Efficient, and Effective.

  • Conventional Covid-19 tests that, is PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) test are time-consuming and also leads to much more False-Negative and False Positive predictions

  • We have to send the sample of PCR  to the labs, which are sometimes in faraway locations that  is far time consuming
  • Sometimes, When the doctors and Radiologists are not available at that time, we can   generate a preliminary diagnosis 
  • Application of machine learning methods for automatic diagnosis in the medical field have recently gained popularity, i.e., have become far more essential in early detection 
  • Fast and accurate diagnostic methods are heavily needed to combat the disease, so more and more time should be invested in Disease Control
